The Scientific Explanation of Egyptians and their Out of Space Encounters
The Great Pyramid at Giza is recognized to be one of the numerous wonders of the world. One of the most intriguing factors that contribute to its admiration is the mathematical and geographical precision of its location and structure. The fact that the pyramid is exactly located in the center of all the land area of the earth causes most people to question the possibility of ancient Egyptians building the structure at a time during which they were not even aware of the fact that the earth was round CITATION Rea91 \l 1033 (Digest, 1991). However, in an age characterized by the belief in the objective scientific truth of events, the idea of extra terrestrial life-forms constructing colossal structures on earth needs to be closely examined and assessed by qualified experts before making any final judgments. One such expert is Dr. Zahi Hawass, who is a recognized archaeologist and has had the opportunity to closely examine the Great Pyramid of Giza and uncover a few of its secrets. With regard to the belief that aliens might have constructed the Great Pyramid, Dr. Hawass proved the theory wrong by discovering the very tombs of the Egyptians who built the pyramids CITATION DrZ90 \l 1033 (Hawass, 1990).
The sightings of unidentified flying objects are numerous and have occurred all over the world. There is no direct evidence that suggests that aliens had indeed visited ancient Egypt or that Egyptians held a belief in extra terrestrial life forms. Nonetheless, there exists some evidence which supports the idea that ancient Egyptians might have been one of the first people to detect unidentified flying objects. One such evidence is an Egyptian papyrus that narrates the sighting of ‘circles of fire` in the sky by the Pharaoh Thutmose III, his army and scribes CITATION Rea82 \l 1033 (Reader's Digest, 1982). The particular papyrus describes how the scribes first caught sight of the bright circular objects in the sky, and described it as having no head but as carrying an unpleasant scent. They reported the sighting to the Pharaoh, who observed after several days that there was an increase in the number of the unidentified objects, which illuminated the sky. Afterwards, the round objects rose into the sky ‘towards the south`. The pharaoh ordered the entire experience to be written in the annals of the ‘House of Life…so that it be remembered for ever` CITATION Rea82 \l 1033 (Reader's Digest, 1982).
One of the well known theorists who suggested a linkage between aliens and Egypt includes Erich Von Daniken. He asserts that aliens visited the Earth and during their stay, were able to build the great pyramids of Egypt. He further claimed that the aliens seemed to interbreed with early humans which resulte...
